The scholar looked excited.
They ran off into the distance, waving their arms and legs excitedly.
Running and shouting:
"I was moved by reading the writings of sages and worthies today!"
"I need to go home and write this down; I can't linger here with you all anymore!"
In the shadows of a street corner,
Li Chengqian watched this scene.
His lips twitched; what an exaggerated acting style.
Compared to his veteran acting skills in court, this is far inferior!
However, to be honest...
He had spent some money before,
Find a few people to act as shills and put on a show.
This is one of his marketing methods.
Unexpectedly, the one leading the group had such exaggerated acting skills.
However, sometimes, exaggeration can be more effective.
Because at this moment,
Li Chengqian has already seen it.
Many of the onlookers already had expressions of eager anticipation on their faces.
Perhaps it's just one climax away.
This would break the deadlock in newspaper sales.
At this moment,
The scholar's companions looked at each other in bewilderment.
Someone asked, "Why don't we buy a copy and take a look?"
"I think it's okay."
"Agree."
After a brief discussion,
They then shouted, "Give us a newspaper too!"
The newspaper vendor's eyes narrowed with a smile.
He quickly replied, "Alright, five coins a serving."
The group paid the money.
After receiving the newspaper,
His behavior was almost identical to that of the person who had run away earlier.
First came calm, then excitement.
Until they started dancing with joy.
They all grabbed their newspapers and ran off.
Seeing this scene,
The surrounding onlookers couldn't help but feel a bit curious.
Does this newspaper truly possess such amazing magic?
Thinking back to the first few words the scholar recited,
It truly stirred emotions and caused a tremor in the heart.
Even though many of them haven't read many books,
One can also hear a grand and majestic spirit, like the rising sun.
Five coins seems like a worthwhile option.
at last,
After the first person tentatively bought a copy of the newspaper,
More and more people joined in.
at the same time,
A middle-aged man in a brown robe squeezed into the crowd.
He stood on the stool, holding a megaphone made of rolled-up paper.
It seems there's news to be announced.
"Everyone, I am from the Recruitment Hall!"
"To celebrate the launch of the new newspaper, we have some great news to share!!!"
Brothers, new book launch, need your data support!
[One extra chapter for every 500 flowers]
[One extra chapter for every three monthly votes]
[One extra chapter for every 30 rating votes/comments].
Chapter 17 caused a sensation on all sides
017 caused a sensation on all sides
The middle-aged man shouted loudly from the crowd:
"A major perk to celebrate the launch of the new newspaper!"
"Customers who purchase the first newspaper will receive a 20% discount on the second newspaper when it goes on sale."
"In addition, each new newspaper has three numbers at the end."
"We will be holding a lottery tomorrow. As long as the last three numbers of the newspaper match the lottery result."
"You can use this to exchange for a lucky prize of one tael of silver at the Recruitment Hall!"
The words fell,
The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment.
But soon,
They saw a raging fire burning in each other's eyes.
Leaving aside the 20% discount,
Five coins can be bet on one tael of silver.
Notice,
One tael of silver is worth 1000 copper coins!
That's enough to cover a family's expenses for a month!
If I win
Wouldn't that mean making a fortune?!
Thinking of this,
The desire to buy begins to grow wildly in everyone's heart.
The atmosphere at the scene
It suddenly intensified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Some people even made a ruthless decision,
I bought more than a dozen copies of the newspaper directly.
Through word of mouth,
The newspaper sold out instantly.
And such a scene,
This has happened in many of Kyoto's bustling streets.
A steady stream of newspapers were being sold.
A large amount of copper coins were put into the bag.
Less than an hour later,
All 50,000 copies of the newspaper in Kyoto were sold out!
There were even quite a few people buying them at inflated prices!
Seeing this scene,
Li Chengqian decisively chose to have more printed copies.
Some people can't buy it now.
Eager to compete for high prices,
If we can strike while the iron is hot, we can release another 50,000 copies.
It will definitely sell out!
After all, everyone is hoping to make a big profit with a small investment, and squeeze out a little money.
This is called consumer psychology!
This was also a marketing tactic arranged by Li Chengqian!
The lottery results will be announced in a couple of days.
